Science continues to
struggle with the ancient themes of time and death. Yet existence
means I am. That implies succession and that implies the observable
arrow of time.
As suggested here, the
energy of the mind and even our present existence can be identified
and I will go further and present that it can be ultimately copied
onto a permanent media and is been continuously copied as we would
expect from an artificial storage media.
It is my contention that
we will achieve this ourselves inside two generations. A more
significant contention is that it has already been done and that is
our personal destiny.
The purpose of the gift
of faith is to allow the individual soul to avoid been sidetracked as
there would otherwise be a lack of guidance on death.
Does Death Exist?
Robert Lanza, MD -

Many of us fear death.
We believe in death because we have been told we will die. We
associate ourselves with the body, and we know that bodies die. But a
new scientific theory suggests that death is not the terminal event
we think.
Although individual
bodies are destined to self-destruct, the “I” feeling is just a
fountain of energy operating in the brain. But this energy doesn’t
just go away at death.
One well-known aspect
of quantum physics is that certain observations cannot be predicted
absolutely. Instead, there is a range of possible observations each
with a different probability. One mainstream explanation, the
“many-worlds” interpretation, states that each of these possible
observations corresponds to a different universe (the ‘multiverse’).
A new scientific theory – called biocentrism – refines
these ideas. There are an infinite number of universes, and
everything that could possibly happen occurs in some universe. Death
does not exist in any real sense in these scenarios. All possible
universes exist simultaneously, regardless of what happens in any of
them. Although individual bodies are destined to self-destruct, the
alive feeling – the ‘Who am I?’- is just a 20-watt fountain of
energy operating in the brain. But this energy doesn’t go away at
death. One of the surest axioms of science is that energy never dies;
it can neither be created nor destroyed. But does this energy
transcend from one world to the other?
Consider an experiment
that was recently published in the journalScience showing that
scientists could retroactively change something that had happened in
the past. Particles had to decide how to behave when they hit a beam
splitter. Later on, the experimenter could turn a second switch on or
off. It turns out that what the observer decided at that point,
determined what the particle did in the past. Regardless of the
choice you, the observer, make, it is you who will experience the
outcomes that will result. The linkages between these various
histories and universes transcend our ordinary classical ideas of
space and time. Think of the 20-watts of energy as simply
holo-projecting either this or that result onto a screen. Whether you
turn the second beam splitter on or off, it’s still the same
battery or agent responsible for the projection.
According to
Biocentrism, space and time are not the hard objects we think. Wave
your hand through the air – if you take everything away, what’s
left? Nothing. The same thing applies for time. You can’t see
anything through the bone that surrounds your brain. Everything you
see and experience right now is a whirl of information occurring in
your mind. Space and time are simply the tools for putting everything
together.
Death does not exist
in a timeless, spaceless world. In the end, even Einstein admitted,
“Now Besso” (an old friend) “has departed from this strange
world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us…know
that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a
stubbornly persistent illusion.” Immortality doesn’t mean a
perpetual existence in time without end, but rather resides outside
of time altogether.
This was clear with
the death of my sister Christine. After viewing her body at the
hospital, I went out to speak with family members. Christine’s
husband – Ed – started to sob uncontrollably. For a few moments I
felt like I was transcending the provincialism of time. I thought
about the 20-watts of energy, and about experiments that show a
single particle can pass through two holes at the same time. I could
not dismiss the conclusion: Christine was both alive and dead,
outside of time.
Christine had had a
hard life. She had finally found a man that she loved very much. My
younger sister couldn’t make it to her wedding because she had a
card game that had been scheduled for several weeks. My mother also
couldn’t make the wedding due to an important engagement she had at
the Elks Club. The wedding was one of the most important days in
Christine’s life. Since no one else from our side of the family
showed, Christine asked me to walk her down the aisle to give her
away.
Soon after the
wedding, Christine and Ed were driving to the dream house they had
just bought when their car hit a patch of black ice. She was thrown
from the car and landed in a banking of snow.
“Ed,” she said “I
can’t feel my leg.”
She never knew that
her liver had been ripped in half and blood was rushing into her
peritoneum.
After the death of his
son, Emerson wrote “Our life is not so much threatened as our
perception. I grieve that grief can teach me nothing, nor carry me
one step into real nature.”
Whether it’s
flipping the switch for the Science experiment, or turning
the driving wheel ever so slightly this way or that way on black-ice,
it’s the 20-watts of energy that will experience the result. In
some cases the car will swerve off the road, but in other cases the
car will continue on its way to my sister’s dream house.
Christine had recently
lost 100 pounds, and Ed had bought her a surprise pair of diamond
earrings. It’s going to be hard to wait, but I know Christine is
going to look fabulous in them the next time I see her.
